"Did you find something?" I asked as I pushed the door open.

Riley looked up from a bunch of papers and frowned. "I don't know. It's kind of confusing."

I sat next to him and immediately recognized the pages as satellite surveillance images.

"You called in a favor?"

He nodded. "I have a contact who sent these. They're Lana's movements since she was released. I guess they put a tracker in her last meal. I'm surprised it hasn't passed out of her system yet."

"Yeah," I said a little snappishly. "That's interesting and all, but I don't care about her digestion. Is she in the US or what?"

"I guess the answer to that is or what," he said.

He pointed to a map that spanned her movements over the last forty-eight hours.

"She's been to Paris, Beijing, and Hawaii in two days?" I scowled. "That's not right."

Riley sighed. "It's the latest technology. It's one hundred percent accurate."

"But that makes no sense," I insisted. "It takes hours to fly from one of those places to the other. I doubt it's possible."

"Technically." Riley rubbed his eyes. "In answer to your question, she is in the US since she's in Hawaii."

"She could be anywhere," I complained. "I don't think this is her. They must've found the tracker and are screwing with the satellite download."

He nodded. "And Leiko hasn't turned up. But there have been sightings in three countries already."

"So she could be anywhere too." I ran my hands through my hair."

My cell went off. I thought about throwing it across the room. It was Bart's number.

"Yes?" I sighed as I answered.

"Yeah, Mrs. Wrath?" Bart's monotone never strayed. "There are two really old people here. They said they're checking on the animals. Said they're your parents, but I'm not sure. Should I ask for ID?"

"Hand the phone to the woman." I waited a second until I heard my mother's voice. "Sorry, Mom. I hired Betty's brother to keep an eye on the animals while I'm running around town."

"It's okay, kiddo!" she said cheerily. "I just wanted to let you know we have to go back to DC. The Senate is calling for an important vote, and your dad wants to be there."

"Do you need me to give you a ride to the airport?" I felt guilty hoping the answer would be no.

"Absolutely not. I'm sorry to be leaving you at this time. I can stay if you'd like." Worry hung heavy in her voice.

"Go home with Dad. I've got this," I lied.

She wasn't buying it. "Are you sure, kiddo? Because I can stay…"

"Mom," I insisted. "Go home. There's nothing you can do. I'm grateful you've been here all this time, but I've got all kinds of people helping me. I promise you'll be the first to know when we find Rex."

We said our good-byes, and Mom promised to call once they were home.

I turned to Riley. "Where does this leave us?"

"We have to do some surveillance."

I filled him in on Juliette's disappearance. "Do you think this is all connected?"

"How could it not be?" Riley mused.
